Summary

Adjustments can be applied to an open or a reopened check. The types of adjustments that can be applied (with the proper job permission) are: 

  • Void: A check rendered null and void for any purpose
  • Comp: Something that is given to a customer for free (gratuity may still apply)
  • Discount: An amount taken off a regular price: a price reduction
  • Refund: To return money in restitution, repayment, or balancing of accounts
  • Tax Exempt: Exempted from a tax
  • Gratuity: Something given voluntarily or beyond obligation usually for some service; similar to a tip


  •  All adjustments except refund can be applied to items before or after they have been sent to the kitchen.
  • Adjustments cannot be removed from checks or items that have already been paid for.

Item-level Adjustment vs. Check-level Adjustment:

Item-level adjustments apply the change in price to the item(s) selected. Adjustment only applies to the item(s) selected. 

Check-level adjustments apply the change in price to the entire check. The adjustment will apply to all items currently on the check. After the adjustment has been applied, items added to the check will also receive the adjustment as part of the check. If an item is transferred from an adjusted check to a non-adjusted check, the item will no longer retain its reduced value.
